i don't know Dilu, but I did have the same sort of trouble with my arms.  they would always both turn one way, so one arm was turning in, the other out.
Now I know that it is my stuffing!  Always pressing into one side more than the other!!  and also sewing plays a big part...I always make sure I sew starting from the same part on each arm..so for you both sides of the head...does that help at all??  make sure both sides are sewn exactly the same and evenly stitched.  You probably do all of this already, but this fixed my arm problem...but you have a head problem...and now you know how dizzy I am lol...can you tell it is nearly midnight lol

So sweet Kathy, but I have a question...what is Sassy's long pile???  Is that Amandas bear with the difficult to work fabric...or am I totally off the mark... :rolleyes:

Hi Amanda

Hugs Sarah

Helena he is so so adorable.  I can see why you were impatient to take a photo!
I love racoons. and all the little badgers and moles and things.  We have such different wildlife here that I wish we had chipmunks and things like that in our trees   Wind in the willows and all those storied..oh to be in england or a nice cool place like that where everything is green all year! 
Your little Rascal is so sweet (i just looked again  ) so cute.  you talented lady you!!  :angel:

Hey Kelly,
I work with a system of adding the costs of my materials to the lowest amount I would like profit for a simple bear...then I add say $10 per extra hour of work, or detail etc...it works for me   I'm not a big name or anything and think this is fair and not too costly that I don't sell either...Maybe if I ever become good enough I will have bidding wars and prices will go up, but not yet, so I just go by what is fair and not too unrealistic...I often think of it as 'would i rather keep this bear than sell it for such and such'.. asking myself that question usually gives me a pretty accurate answer 
Hugs Sarah

Anne they are so sweet and love how they are displayed    What a lovely thing to receive for your wedding...what a sweet reminder  :love:
hugs sarah

Gorgeous kim  and I think you succeed in both of your aspirations...geez, I really thought I was the only one who was a girl peter pan!  seriously, I'm not just saying it...I started making porcelain dolls at 16 and my friends thought I was nuts..I should be growing out of dolls not into them!!...i really didn't and still don't want to grow up...toys and bears and dolls are too much fun hehe...I can imagine if I have kids that they will have there toys and I will have mine lol...now although I don't have as much of a vivid pretending imagination anymore I still dream and can block out reality...even my star sign tells me that i live in my own fantasy world and escape in my dreams!  are you a sag by any chance! hehe

hehe    So how many times a week do you all eat chocolate?  I chose 8 hehe!  Every day and one more for luck

Fun isn't it   Wonder if they can add more colours?  I love changing the look of my screen and brightening things up.
I've chosen Mercury now.  think it is easier on my eyes.  Don't the white ones look bright after using the dark ones!
Hugs Sarah

Paula your big bears are so 'WOW!'.  I would love to cuddle one  :lol:
Hugs Sarah

Heather that is weird!  Does he have a crush on you?  Maybe stare back at him....stare him down hehe.  If he doesn't back down pull faces hehe    then he will be afraid to stare at you lol
Hugs Sarah 

Jane, You vacume twice a day!!!!  Geez that is clean 

Heather, we are the same, usually every two weeks...sometimes mum will leave it longer if I'm not well and can't take the noise :redface:
There are only the three of us, so we don't really get the house 'dirty'.  We used to be the 'neat freaks'!  But now we just do what needs doing and try to enjoy life.  And I love the dusting and looking at my stuff too!  Fun  And hehe, I know...I am weird and its a shame I can't do much...or maybe a blessing! There is only so much you can clean and maybe I would have missed all this fun stuff!   Even when I was a teenager and I was left alone for a few hours, which wasn't often, I didn't throw wild parties, I cleaned!!  Okay maybe that is revealing too much!!!  lol.  I suppose growing up we didn't ever have chores as such, just did what we wanted to do and mum did the rest.  Good system but some of us kids did do more than others  But it was from the heart so we've grown up wanting to help...
Now if I have time where I'm feeling good, I will spend it on bears rather than cleaning...but sometimes I just have that need to clean!    Does anyone else get that?

Judi, funny joke  :D Sounds like you lead a healthy life  I love veggies too    Butternut pumpkin, carrots, corn and potatoes are my favs.  Anyone ever eat mash potato with boiled cabbage?  Its yummy  And anyone tried beetroot on sandwhiches?  That is so delicious too...with cheese and mayo and tomatoes MMMmmmm

Matilda, hope you feel better  :rose:

Hugs Sarah

I love the panda So adorable!
I didn't even think about the dogs and cats needing homes after the hurricane!  So sad  So glad you could rescue Toby Sue Ann  :)
Hugs Sarah

I was just going through my Profile and changed my display colours.  I used to use Sulfur coz I love pinks and that was the closest, Now I've picked Radium.  A little dark wooooo!    May change it if it confuses me lol
So what does everyone else use??
Hugs Sarah
